The Wonder In Cardiac Elisa Kits

By Sally Delacruz


Advancement in medical technology has brought new ways of detecting heart diseases in the human body. This is through the use of cardiac Elisa kits. These are diagnostic tools that work with samples and reagents in determining the existence of problems in the heart. This is done through looking out for color change in the reagents.

This experiment works when the enzyme immunoassay binds with antibodies and substrate. When this occurs, color changes to indicate presence or absence of trouble. With these tools, it is possible to work with both antibodies and antigens. The amount of both of them can be determined by observing the color changes.

This test can also be used in detecting foreign bodies that exist in low concentrations. Heart problems can, therefore, be identified before they become chronic. The patient is advantaged; he will spend less money fighting a developing problem than he would have spent on a chronic one. This is because it is cheaper treating a disease while still in its early stages than when it has developed into a complex illness.

Proper working of this equipment means it is sensitive to reactions, gives accurate results, and is capable of making many detailed readings at a time. When a tool is sensitive, it can exhibit any slight change resulting from the reaction between samples and reagents. Its accuracy ensures that results obtained are free of errors, and hence, believable. They are also manufactured to work on specific problems.

The device should also be stable. This is achieved through reducing the loss rate as much as may be possible. The tools should be stored in good conditions to ensure that they remain stable. Other environmental influences should be completely avoided. Appropriate environmental conditions should, therefore, be provided. These include; appropriate temperature, pressure and humidity. Somebody should be given the responsibility of controlling the temperature in the incubator at all times. Assigning one person to work on the experiment is also crucial in ensuring stability.

Before the experiment is done, the researcher must prepare all the standards, samples and reagents. Some samples are then added to each well and incubated for approximately two hours. Having done this, the researcher should then aspire the previous mixture before adding a small amount of the reagent. He/she must then incubate the mixture for one hour. The substances are once again aspired and washed three times before a solution of the substrate is added and then incubated for 20-25 minutes. Lastly, a stopping solution is added to end the reaction.

The enzyme sandwich principle is applied in this experiment. Plates on the kits are coated in advance with specific antibodies for the problem under investigation. Standards or samples are then appropriately added to the plates. They normally contain antibodies which are specific to certain defects. Lastly, Avidin conjugate is put on each plate and then incubated.

Once the substrate solution has been added, no other part, except the wells, will contain Tropin I type 3. A color change will be exhibited in the reagents. Sulphuric acid is then added with the purpose of bringing the reaction to an end. The change in color is measured in terms of some special wavelengths.
